MONEY MARKETS

The expression "money markets" is used to refer to the set of institutions and individuals who are engaged in the borrowing and lending of large sums of money for short periods of time (overnight to three months). The money market is not located in a place - it is rather a network of brokers, buyers and sellers.

Most money market transactions are concerned with the sale and purchase of near money assets such as bills of exchange and certificates of deposit.
